Information from Half Moon Bay Patch

The opening of the big-wave surfing contest at Mavericks is scheduled for Nov. 9, surfer and organizer Jeff Clark said.

"The opening ceremony is a special ceremony to gather the tribe, this family and community of surfers, to join hands and bless the event," said Clark. "It's a chance to bring the competitors and Mavericks community together on a non-contest day, away from the spotlight and commotion of a contest. It's a time for us to come together in the spirit of family and remember why we do what we do."

According to Mavericks Big Wave Invitational organizers, the contest waiting period will officially run through March 31, 2013.

Clark and fellow surfers are hoping for big waves this season at the spot known for its massive swells less than a mile off the San Mateo County coast near Pillar Point Harbor.

Ideal conditions failed to materialize last season, just like in the 2010-2011 season, and the contest was not held.


The 24 competitors, among them Chris Bertish, of South Africa, Matt Ambrose, of Pacifica, 2005 champion Anthony Tashnick, of Santa Cruz, and 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, have been selected to be judged on how they can handle the Mavericks.

The opening of the contest season coincides with last week's release of the film "Chasing Mavericks" starring Gerard Butler as legendary big-wave surfer Jay Moriarty's mentor Rick "Frosty" Hesson.

The movie, originally titled "Of Men and Mavericks," was shot throughout Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay last fall and winter, including at Mavericks, where Butler was briefly trapped underwater during filming in December 2011.

He was rescued by emergency responders from the Coastside Fire Protection District and suffered minor injuries.

Maverick’s Famous Surfing Spot in Half Moon Bay and in the World

This is a world-renowned big-wave break in Half Moon Bay.

Maverick’s is located just north of Half Moon Bay and is about 0.25 mile from Pillar Point Harbor. It has earned a reputation as one of the best big-wave spots in the world.

Bigwave surfers from places such as Southern California, Hawaii, and Australia travel to this break when there’s a massive swell visiting.

There are two main peaks at Maverick’s. The peak on the north end of the break is ridden the most. The other break, known as the outer bowl, can be a monstrous, nearly perfect two-way peak. Hold-downs can be particularly frightening here on a big day due to the cold water and large submerged boulders.

And many a big-wave gun has ended up on the Pillar Point rocks. With a small swell Maverick’s will appear virtually flat and serene. Given a large winter swell, however, this deep-water break can hold waves that are several times overhead. When it’s on, Maverick’s is definitely not a break for the timid or inexperienced surfer.
